I already observed twice that Skype segfaults on startup every time, but then it works after I re-emerge it. I find this to be very strange.
I experimented with deleting ~/.Skype as was suggested in some other thread on skype-4.0 issues, but that did not help.

Yes I had a segfault once and re-emerging helped. I had actually upgraded world before the segfault. Did you upgrade world both the times before the segfault?_________________emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using e from git | e18, e19, and kde4 sucks :-/

My USB microphone stopped working after upgrade. I use Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. The USB microphone device is listed under audio settings but for some reason microphone is not working. I tried each setting and no luck.

Does anyone else have the same problem?

EDIT:

Problem fixed. I went ahead and tried to enable mic boost as one previously posted earlier, and that fixed the issue. Not sure why this works since that setting was for different sound device.

I have that prelink issue with Skype too. Is there a fix? I like prelink too _________________"Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous."

We are seeing a problem with Skype4 and homes on NFS4, I think it's due to 413119 but i can't really tell. The problem is that it doesn't login anymore. Is anyone else seeing something like this?_________________I'm a membar of Mesnar and me scull contains wakky secrets!

At the end of the day skype-4.0 is not working for me. Calls are very choppy, often the other side loosing large chunks of what I am saying (interestingly, it usually starts after 20-30 second of conversation). skype-2.1.89 on the neightbouring machine on the same network seems working as fine as it ever did. with skype-2.2 crashing on login 2 out of 3 times, I am looking for a way to downgrade to 2.1.89 - does anybody still have and ebuild ?

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Also you could just put the Skype version you want to emerge into /etc/portage/package.unmask (create it if non-existant)._________________"Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous."

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "skype" have been masked.

Can't seem to figure out a way around this.

Thanks.

your entry in /etc/portage/package.unmask is invalid, if you wanted to mask skype-4.0.0.8-r1 you need to add the following line in /etc/portage/package.mask:

Code:

<net-im/skype-2.2.0.35-r99

also, you need to unkeyword net-im/skype-2.2.0.35-r99, for how to do that, google it._________________Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former - Albert Einstein

in /etc/portage/package.mask. See the = to mask a specific version.
Did not really try it, because here skype-4.0.0.8-r1 runs just fine._________________"Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous."
